Searching for the right word

I tried to find a word that described the way you look at me
The way you see me better than I see myself
How your eyes hold curiosity but yet have so much wisdom
The word I wanted to use was dangerous
Except with you I am only in fear of not being able to love you enough
Because when I’m with you I can never hold your gaze
We always break away quickly, but not breaking the passion
I tried to write about your eyes in a poetic manner
On why I’m scared to look into your eyes
Because they see deep into me
versions of me that I didn’t know existed
versions of me I don’t want to accept
I tried to write about how I feel when you look at me
How I love when you glance my way
How I can't wait to stare into your eyes forever
discovering who I am to you, through you
I tried to write about your eyes
This is the best I can do
I love your eyes
All that they mean
All they’ve experienced
All they’ve seen
All that they are
